Tasting Notes & Reviews:
"Intense and complex chardonnay with lemons and peaches, as well as pastry and fresh cream. The palate is stacked with ripe-peach flavor and fresher, citrus tones and has complex, layered texture. Classy wine. Drink now. Screw cap." 95/100, James Suckling, Jan'2022
"The 2020 Estate Chardonnay is taut and salty, with a very fine spool of acid, fruit and phenolics that weave over the palate. A gorgeous wine, it's quiet and composed. Really great—what a joy. 13.5% alcohol sealed under screw cap." 93/100, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker, Dec'2023
"Spontaneous fermentation of hand-picked grapes, whole-bunch pressed. Lightly but not excessively reductive on the nose. Already quite expansive on the nose with beautiful impact on the palate: citrus, blossom and really neat acidity without much astringency. Elegant and racy – almost lightweight on the mid palate and then it is impressively persistent. A thorough delight already. VGV 13.5% Drink 2021 – 2025" 17/20, Jancis Robinson, Aug'2021
